[0010] it is Known that the degree of pearls luster image perceived by visual observation by a person in a high degree associated with brilliance, brightness, etc. of the image. On the other hand, the General Chapter is finally assessed by observation of specularly reflected light with respect to incident light.
However, brightness, etc. of the image perceived by visual observation by a person, not necessarily a high degree associated with specularly reflected light. In other words, even when the overall gloss of the image is high, people do not necessarily perceive that the Shine and brightness of the image is high and, therefore, by visual observation, it seems that the image has a pearly luster. The solution to this problem is directed FLOP, known as the index, which is a pearly luster, which is highly associated with brilliance, brightness, etc. that is perceived by visual observation by a person. The value of the FLOP is an indicator, which is mainly used in the field of coating laid out and described in Japanese patent No. 2007-254754, and so on

[0011] In particular, the FLOP is represented by the formula (1) below:

is FLOP=2,69×(L*15°-L*110°)1,11/L*45°0,86Formula (1)

L*15°: The brightness of reflected light at an angle offset 15° with respect to incident light at 45°

L*45°: The brightness of reflected light at an angle offset of 45° with respect to the incident light at 45°

L*110°: Brightness of tragen the th light at an angle offset 110° with respect to incident light at 45°

[0012] the Reflected light at an angle offset θ (15°, 45° or 110°) with respect to the incident light at 45° shown in Fig. 1A.

[0013] as a result of research conducted by the authors of the present invention found that when the value of the FLOP of the storage medium is equal to or exceeds a certain high value, i.e., when described below FLOPMinis 2.5 or more, regardless of the direction of incidence of light from the light source, the person perceives that the Shine and brightness of the image is high, when people visually observes the image. In addition, FLOPMinpreferably is 3.0 or more and more preferably 4.0 or more.

[0014] Also found that when the homogeneity values FLOP media is high, i.e. when the value described below FLOPMin/FLOPMaxis over 0.80 or more and 1.00 or less, the person feels that the high gloss and brightness are homogeneous and, thus, the image has a higher degree pearly luster. In addition, the value of FLOPMin/FLOPMaxpreferably 0.85 or more and 1.00 or less, and more preferably 0.90 or more and 1.00 or less.

[0015] Methods of obtaining FLOPMax, FLOPMinand FLOPMin/FLOPMaxin the present invention are described below. In Fig. 1B presents a view of the media, when it is viewed in n the Board,
perpendicular to the surface of the media. First, as illustrated in Fig. 1B, a certain direction from the observation point in the media information is defined as the direction of 0°. Subsequently, the values FLOP (36) is measured in increments of 10° in the directions from 0° to 360° (one circle) angle φ of the light source relative to the direction of 0°. Then among the measured values FLOP 36 directions, in relation to the direction which gives the maximum value of the FLOP, and direction, which provides the minimum value of the FLOP, values FLOP additionally measured in the directions of ±5° with increments of 1°. Among these values FLOP maximum is defined as the FLOPMaxand the minimum is defined as the FLOPMin. Is FLOPMin/FLOPMaxcalculated by FLOPMaxand FLOPMin. In the present invention, L*15°L*45°and L*110°in the formula, which represents the value of the FLOP, measured using a Gonio-spectrophotometric color measurement system GCMS-3B (manufactured by the company Murakami Color Research Laboratory Co., Ltd.).

[0061] a Crosslinking agent contained in the primer layer, may be similarly cross-linking means is shown as an example of material that can be contained in the ink receiving layer. However, to use a more suitable drill. Borax has a very high crosslinking reactivity in relation to the connecting means. Thus, if a drill is inserted into the covering liquid ink receiving layer, the crosslinking reaction can be completed prior to coating. Therefore, borax is not suitable for use in the ink receiving layer. In contrast, when a drill is inserted into the primer, the reaction sshi the project starts at the moment
when covering the liquid ink receiving layer is applied on the primer layer. Therefore, borax can be used as cross-linking means. From the point of view of high crosslinking reactivity borax, borax is preferably used since it can quickly cause a crosslinking reaction in comparison with other cross-linking means, shown as an example above. When covering the liquid ink receiving layer is applied on the primer layer containing borax, in a time when borax diffuses and penetrates into the covering liquid is in contact with a bonding tool, the drill quickly initiates the crosslinking reaction and can increase the viscosity of the covering liquid. As a result, it is possible to restrain a phenomenon that occurs disorientation inorganic particles coated with a metal oxide, by moving moisture during the drying of the covering liquid. Thus, you can easily get the information carrier, which satisfies the above described conditions values FLOP.

[0062] Borax and a crosslinking agent, the above example can be used in combination. In this case, the content of cross-linking means, other than the Boers, in relation to the content of borax preferably is 1.0% by mass or more and 50.0 mass% or less andmore preferably of 5.0 mass% or more and 40.0% by mass or less.

[0063] When the primer layer contains borax as a cross-linking means, the content of borax is preferably 0.1 g/m2or more and 1.2 g/m2or less and more preferably 0.1 g/m2or more and 1.0 g/m2or less when calculated on the amount of dry coating.

[0064] As described above, borax can be subjected to a crosslinking reaction with a linking agent. In particular, the drill has a high reactivity in respect of polyvinyl alcohol and derivatives of polyvinyl alcohol. Therefore, the total content of polyvinyl alcohol and derivatives of polyvinyl alcohol in the primer layer is preferably 0.1% by mass or less and more preferably 0.01 percent by mass or less with respect to the content of borax. In addition, preferably, the primer layer contains polyvinyl alcohol or derivatives of polyvinyl alcohol.

[0065] the Primer layer may further comprise other additives, are given as examples of materials that can be used in the ink receiving layer.

[0069] Examples of a method of providing a layer of resin on the paper-based, i.e., the method of coating the base paper with the use of resins include the way of extras is Ziya melt,
the wet lamination method and a dry laminating method. Among these methods, preferred method of melt extrusion, in which the molten resin ekstragiruyut on a surface or both surfaces of base paper to be coated on the base paper using a resin. An example of a widely used method is a method (also referred to as "extrusion coating method, including casting resin extruded from the extrusion of the matrix in contact with the paper-based, which moved into the pinch point between the clamping shaft and the cooling roller, and the adhesion of the resin and the base paper by pressing the jamming to be laminated to the base paper layer of resin. When forming the resin layer by the method of melt extrusion pre-processing can be performed so that the base paper and the resin layer is more firmly stuck to each other. Examples of pre-treatment include treatment with acid etching, using a mixture of sulfuric acid and chromic acid, the processing of the flame with the gas flame, the treatment with ultraviolet radiation, the treatment by corona discharge, the treatment smoldering charge and handling adhesive coating using alkylsilane or the like. Among these preliminary obrabotka is appropriate is the treatment by corona discharge.

SUBSTANCE: method for applying multiple paint layers onto a substrate includes following stages: application onto a substrate of at least one painting layer of energy-hardened liquid paint with viscosity less than approximately 4000 centipoises, and including reaction-incapable paint thinner, where applied layer of energy-hardened paint has first viscosity; evaporation of at least a part of reaction-incapable paint thinner from applied paint layer for increasing viscosity of applied layer of energy-hardened paint; application onto substrate and applied layer of energy-hardened paint with increased viscosity of at least one layer of non energy-hardened liquid paint, viscosity of which is less than increased viscosity of previously applied layer of energy-hardened paint; and drying of both paint layers on the substrate. Another variant of method for applying multiple paint layers onto a substrate is differentiated by applied layer of energy-hardened paint having to be of increased viscosity compared to following layer of energy-hardened liquid paint with viscosity less than approximately 4000 centipoises, and containing reaction-incapable paint thinner, where viscosity of following layer is less than increased viscosity of energy-hardened paint layer applied beforehand.

Device for serial application of multiple overlapping paint layers onto a substrate contains substrate route and substrate drive for moving the substrate along a route, where paint application sections are adapted for applying paint onto substrate, which paint includes reaction-incapable paint thinner and has viscosity less than 4000 centipoises, and also management system, which manages transportation of substrate along a route. Viscosity of first layer of liquid paint, applied onto a substrate in one of paint sections, is increased due to evaporation of at least a part of paint thinner from first paint layer to higher viscosity compared to viscosity of second paint, applied on top of first paint layer in next paint section, located at a certain distance from first paint section, up to viscosity, sufficient for "crude" application of second liquid paint layer during transportation of substrate between paint sections.
